I love existing in this world – a world of desperate survival but of growing culture and a sense of hope. A world of giant metal animals that promise some breathtaking fights.

A world that’s basically Disney’s Brave meets The Last of Us, Enslaved: Journey to the West, Far Cry, Mass Effect, The Witcher, Monster Hunter, Toukiden, and loads of other really, really cool shit.

That’s basically Horizon in a nutshell – loads of really, really cool shit.

9.5/10
Superb

I preordered this not long ago and played it at EGX, it was beautiful to look at. We basically had a presentation of what the game's about for 20 minutes and got to play 15 minutes each with a partner. I'm really intrigued to see where the story's going.

I have been a silent observer when it comes to this game but I felt the need to come in here just to say that I am hyped af. This looks amaaaazzzziiiinnng.

**ForceStealer** · 02/21/2017

Glad it's apparently as good as it first looked. I was definitely concerned it would be another open world a la Ubisoft once we started seeing more.

I don't think I'll rush to get it on release date, but I'll probably have it before the year's out.

***Cthulhu*** · 02/21/2017

Reviews seem to be positive all round; gameplay wise it's nothing new, but it's polished, the theme seems original enough, etc etc etc. Plus it's awesome on a technological level, looking and performing great both on PS4 and the PS4 Pro; it'll be a benchmark and showcase for the Pro for a while to come, I'm sure.

Surprised that people aren't more hyped about this. I'm fucking stoked just on the level of ROBOT FUCKING DINOSAURS ARE YOU SHITTING ME

very glad I preordered this - just wish I could've justified the collector's edition because I want that statue

Minato · 02/28/2017

Ordered one, along with a PS4 and a free Uncharted 4. I can pick it up Wednesday next week.

Ami · 02/28/2017

Got mine preordered and it's arriving tomorrow. Half-expected it to be here today, but then I got my email at lunch saying it's on the way from GAME. I won't be really disappointed it's not here on release day, I'll just be happy knowing it's on the way.

**Flare** · 02/28/2017

I'm excited for this game too, it just looks so damn awesome and aaaaagh giant animal robots is too cool. I think I love that idea. Giant robotic animals roaming a very overgrown earth. They both contrast each other yet look so harmonious. I can't wait to see the story and such.

Russell · 02/28/2017

I'm a sucker for scenery porn (not as rude as it sounds

) so I already know I'm be staring at the enviroment for hours. The graphics look so good.
I pre-ordered as well, should be waiting for me when I get home from work.

Ami · 02/28/2017

The marketing for the game over here is brilliant, though. I'm from Manchester and this is just gold.

It's Beetham Tower

They also did Birmingham and a few other UK cities.

***Cthulhu*** · 03/01/2017

That's pretty clever actually, I wonder if someone's documenting them for every variation
